Endress+Hauser CLS16E: The Ultimate Solution for Accurate Conductivity Measurement

In the world of industrial process measurement, precision, reliability, and durability are non-negotiable. For professionals seeking an unparalleled solution for conductivity measurement in challenging environments, the Endress+Hauser CLS16E-AACA20 emerges as the industry benchmark. This advanced conductivity sensor is engineered to deliver exceptional performance where it matters most, ensuring optimal process control, product quality, and operational safety.

The CLS16E-AACA20 is a 4-electrode, inductive (electrodeless) conductivity sensor, a design choice that fundamentally eliminates the primary failure modes of traditional electrode sensors. Unlike contacting sensors, its electrodeless measurement principle prevents corrosion, fouling, and polarization effects. This makes it the ideal choice for applications involving aggressive chemicals, high-fouling media, or liquids with suspended solids—from harsh chemical production and pulp & stock applications to demanding water and wastewater treatment processes.

Key to its superior performance is the robust sensor design featuring the AACA20 ceramic body. Ceramic, known for its exceptional chemical and abrasion resistance, ensures the sensor body withstands the most corrosive environments, from concentrated acids to strong alkalis. The fully encapsulated, potted electronics provide an additional layer of protection, guaranteeing long-term stability and resistance to moisture ingress. This construction translates directly into reduced maintenance, lower lifetime costs, and minimized risk of unscheduled process downtime.

Furthermore, the CLS16E-AACA20 offers outstanding measurement accuracy across an extensive range (0...2000 mS/cm), crucial for precise concentration measurement, leak detection, or interface detection in separation processes. Its 4-electrode inductive technology provides excellent temperature compensation, ensuring reliable readings even with fluctuating process temperatures. The sensor is also compatible with Endress+Hauser's extensive range of transmitters, such as the Liquiline series, enabling seamless integration into existing control architectures and digital field communication protocols.

For industries operating under strict hygienic standards, the sensor's smooth surfaces and CIP/SIP (Clean-in-Place/Sterilize-in-Place) capability are vital. It ensures thorough cleaning without the need for disassembly, maintaining stringent hygiene protocols in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications.

In summary, the Endress+Hauser CLS16E-AACA20 is more than just a sensor; it is a strategic asset for process optimization. By combining cutting-edge inductive technology with unparalleled ceramic durability, it delivers the reliability that engineers and plant managers depend on. Choosing the CLS16E-AACA20 means investing in measurement certainty, safeguarding your process integrity, and enhancing overall operational efficiency.
